WENHASTON ARMISTICE DAY NOVEMBER 11th 2018

From the beautifully crafted permanent tributes around the

village, to the crowded War Memorial, church service and village

hall, the whole day was very impressive, finishing in the fading

light, with church bells ringing. Well done everybody! DF

A new editorial team has taken over at the Warbler. This is our first edition

and it has certainly made us realise what hard work Phil Corbett has put in

to its production over the past few years. Many thanks Phil! We are sure

we will have made plenty of mistakes in our first attempt, so please bear

with us. Note: copy for the next (January) edition of the Warbler must be received

by the 10th December, and not the 15th, to fit in with the publisher’s

Christmas break.

WENHASTON VILLAGE REMEMBERS AND MARKS THE CENTENARY

OF THE END OF WW1

After a very poignant and lovely service of remembrance at the War Memorial and St

Peter’s church, crowds of people came to the village hall to mark the centenary and

remember and celebrate the end of WW1.

An old Roadmans cart or a Tumble, as it is commonly called, owned by Arthur Musk,

and made locally, stood at the entrance. A large painting of a poppy by Annie Rice,

depicting a clock face stopped at 11am, greeted guests and welcome drinks were

served on arrival.

John Levy, the standard bearer for the Royal British Legion presented the

standard. John has been the standard bearer and worked tirelessly for the Royal

British Legion for thirty years and the day also marked his retirement from this

role. He will, however, continue to support them in their very worthy cause,

providing lifelong support for the Armed Forces community.

A wonderful array of precious artefacts and memorabilia, brought by the families of

people who had fought in WW1, were on display along with numerous information

boards and posters from the time. Two sculptures, one of which featured an

‘eternal’ flame, were commissioned by Arthur Musk and David Cox and produced by

Gary Mays who came along to join us at the event. A tree of poppies supplied by the

Commons Group was on the stage, decorated with 37 hand knitted poppies, knitted

by the community, in memory of the 37 people from the village who lost their lives

in the war. The poems ‘In Flanders Field’ by John McCrae and ‘We Shall Keep the

Faith’ by Moina Michael, were beautifully handwritten by Bruce Attenborough and

on display.

Roger and Janice Claxton put together all the information boards and a

revolving PowerPoint display featuring pictures and information and including

a film from the time, supplied by Tony Gow.

The class 4 artwork

Margaret Goldstone and the ladies of St Peter’s Church held a wonderful raffle

which raised £338.70 and these proceeds together with the church collection will

be going to the Royal British Legion. Along with the ladies of the Methodist

Chapel, they also baked numerous scrumptious cakes. The ladies of the WI, led

by Felicity Jelliff, Cheryl Foster and Wendy Mendham produced endless bowls of

delicious home-made hot soup and a table spread with a mountain of food and

cheerfully served teas all afternoon.

Mick Nichols our MC for the day, gamely made himself heard over the crowd to

announce the grand unveiling of the art exhibit, which was performed by Molly

and Lana. This had been produced by the children of class 4 (year 5/6) this year

and last year at the Wenhaston Primary School. This stunning art work was a team

effort by the children, brought together by Wil Harvey, Mrs Jan Milne and Analisa

Jenkins (class teacher) and Viv Burns led the sessions down at the village hall and

provided lots of materials and tools to complete the project. The first panel, ‘The

War’ is especially moving: the children collected items which might have been

found in the battlefield mud, and wrote letters they imagined might have come

from the soldiers to their loved ones back home; these are tucked into the

envelope seen near the bottom, alongside a communion book from the period.

A book, written and produced as a WI project in the village - Wenhaston War

Memorial – The Stories behind the names was for sale. It is about the people with

connections to Wenhaston who died during the two World Wars. Further copies

are available for sale from the Post Office. Together with the sale of knitted

poppies, both before and during the event, they raised £163 for the

Royal British Legion.

The grand premiere of the Wenhaston Ukulele Band followed, with a wonderful

performance of several songs from the era. The band was only formed seven

months ago by Phil and Denise Corbett and months of practice paid off as they

strummed and sang along, with the crowd joining in with all the old songs.

It was a very memorable occasion and overwhelming to see how many people

came along to remember the sacrifice so many had made, and to celebrate the

centenary of the end of WW1. The village hall has funded most of the expenses

for the day and a cheque for over £900 will be on its way to the Royal British

Legion.

Thoughts of a Lincolnshire immigrant

My wife and I moved down to Wenhaston from Lincolnshire in 2016. We knew the

area well and had spent many holidays in this part of Suffolk. My wife's maternal

grandparents lived near Newmarket and were part of the Musk family who produced

the famous sausages. We love this area because the landscape is beautiful, the climate

is ideal (similar rainfall to Lincolnshire but much sunnier) and the little towns are a

delight. Wenhaston is not a 'chocolate-boxy' village, but a vibrant community. We

remember it from the 1970s - all our gardens have had shrubs bought at Woottens

and clematis from Fiskes. We seem to remember that Blackheath Road was

unmetalled with gorse bushes on either side. Our house was there but not the modern

bungalows. The village had two pubs, The Star and The Compasses, next to the old

post office, but now a private house.

We love the heath - a remnant of a much larger heath which was presumably ploughed up

in the two wars. It is a great place to observe the night sky. Venus, Jupiter and Mars have

been outstandingly beautiful this year. The nightingales were superb this year - sad that

the sand martins didn't return this year. Fingers crossed for next year.

It is beautiful walking country and dogs are a great incentive to exploration. It is a small

scale landscape, unlike Lincolnshire with its ‘prairie' farming and acres of vegetables near

The Wash. We love the small fields with their ancient hedges. In the Middle Ages Suffolk

was the most populated part of England. The Domesday Book recorded that half the

Freemen of England lived in Suffolk. Farmers were then free to farm as they liked, hence

the pattern of isolated medieval farms and small enclosed fields. Many of the hedges have

disappeared in the last fifty years.

It is not an area of 'brass band scenery' but the landscape is intimate and its charm grows

upon you with time. Stand at the top of Coles Hill at night and look across the fields

towards the floodlit Blythburgh church - for me one of the great sights of rural England!

Brian Withnall, Mylor, Blackheath

ALAN MUSK

We are all very sorry to learn of the sudden death of Alan Musk. Born and brought

up in Wenhaston, he will be remembered as a kind and generous friend and

neighbour. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family at this

difficult time. A longer tribute will follow in our January edition.

Footpath Walking

Only one walk in December which will be centred round a bookable Christmas Lunch at

the Five Bells, Wrentham. Gail Attfield will lead a walk around Covehithe. Meet at 10am

at the Five Bells carpark Wrentham on Tuesday 4th December.

I would like to thank all our friends – walkers, leaders, publicans and farmers for helping

to make our walks enjoyable and wish them a merry Christmas.

Wenhaston Mothers’ Union

We are looking forward to Alison Alder’s presentation entitled ‘How can we share the true

meaning of Christmas’ when she speaks at our November meeting on 14th (after the BVT

& Warbler deadline)

We were pleased to send 20 shoeboxes for Eastern Europe where people are often living

in poverty and lack essential items. We have also managed to collect a large pile of goods

for the Night Shelter in Ipswich so thank you to all who contributed. People from the village

have been very generous and we are most grateful.

The Waveney & Blyth MU Deanery Festival took place on 16th October when Rev Vic

Hopkins presided over the Eucharist, there was a busy bring & buy stall and, as usual, a

hearty tea.

On 12 th December we shall have our Christmas Party at Spindleberry at 3pm. The

committee are kindly providing tea and it will be a fitting end to a good year. A very happy

and peaceful Christmas from all at the Mothers’ Union. Margaret Bloomfield

Wenhaston's Own Bollywood Evening

This is a short report and a fuller one with photo/s and final profit to go to

ACWW will follow in January. The evening was a sell out. We were all treated to

energetic Bollywood Dancing, delicious curries and a colourful, amusing movie.

Thank you all for supporting this worthwhile event and having fun too!

Arlette, Cheryl, Jill, Liz.

Wenhaston Village Show

In spite of adverse weather conditions this year’s village show was a spectacular

success. So much so that the same committee have been encouraged to organise

a show in 2019. The earlier date of 28th July has been decided on so that there

could be a change in categories.

The popular ‘potato in a bucket’ will still be included as will the tallest sunflower.

Seeds for these will be available next year. Some younger members of the

community might be encouraged to take part; after all gardening isn’t just for the

middle aged and the retired.

Photographers will have time to snap some amazing pictures for: The Coast, An

Open Category, and Life in Wenhaston. It would be good if we had a few more

entries for the craft section, now we have a craft group in the village perhaps they

might ‘have a go.’

Pics in the Sticks

The December film nights are Saturday, December 1st: when a brilliantly masterful,

post- apocalyptic thriller will be shown

On Thursday December 20th there will be a feel-good film for the festive season.

Climate Change and English Wine

According to the Met Office, last Summer was one of the four hottest on record.

All that energy pouring down on English vineyards has resulted in a massive

harvest. One long-established vineyard south of the Thames expects to become

the first English producer to make over one million bottles of sparkling wine from

one vintage. Other producers are confident of making over twice the amount of

wine as their previous highest producing year. This is all very well but what about

quality? Is the wine going to be good ? All other things being equal, (and they

seldom are ) the wines should be higher in alcohol, richer and softer. The two

latter qualities meet modern demands but higher alcohol levels are not widely

welcome. Also high yields may result in diluted flavours leading to a reduction in

quality. To be fair, this is more likely to happen if there has been too much rain at

the wrong time – and this didn’t happen. So the answer to the question “ what

will the wines be like ? “ is that I don’t know but I am optimistic. To be sure, it will

be fun finding out.

The other question posed by this year’s bumper harvest is not one for the

consumer but for the producer. Buyers accustomed to being offered to taking x

number of bottles will doubtless be offered three or four times the number. Can

it all be marketed ? I don’t know the answer to this either but if the quality is good

then a lot of business will be done. Next year try some English still wine. The year

after try some English sparkling wine. I think you will be very pleasantly surprised.

Look out for Stars this Christmas

During December, stars will be appearing in different places around the

village as part of the Church of England “Follow the Star” initiative for

Christmas. As we become busy with preparations and the excitement (and

exhaustion) builds up, “Follow the Star” helps us to focus on what lies at the

heart of Christmas. So look out for stars in St Peter’s Church and around the

village. If you want to find out more, visit

www.churchofengland.org/followthestar. The website contains many simple

activities for families and others to do in the run up to Christmas and

afterwards. Alison Alder

Would you like to be the

Local Recorder for:

WENHASTON with MELLS

The Suffolk Local History Council runs a Recorders

Scheme throughout Suffolk. We administer a network of volunteers to ensure that the

‘present’ is adequately recorded at local level for the ‘future’.

A Recorder will note significant happenings in their parish and collect their local parish

magazines, leaflets, election pamphlets and newspaper cuttings. At the end of each year,

they are asked to submit a short report summarising the activities of their parish. The

reports are deposited at the Suffolk Record Office and available to future researchers

together with the collected items.

If you are interested, please look at the Recorders Pack by visiting www.slhc.org.uk to

acquaint yourself with the guidelines of the scheme. You do not need to be a historian;

you do not need any qualifications other than an interest in your parish. In return you

will receive a copy of the SLHC Newsletter and be invited to the annual conference

specifically for Local Recorders. To volunteer to help in this important work, please

Danish pastries have always been a favourite, we were lucky to have Nanna Lay, a

Norwegian, to demonstrate the authentic pastries for us. She had made the sweet

dough before she came to give it a chance to prove, otherwise, as she said, we

would have been at the hall until midnight. Nanna demonstrated the rolling out

and filling process, using lots of delightful ingredients. One tip she passed on to us

was, when chopping nuts to sprinkle a little granulated sugar on them, this will

prevent them falling off the board as they are wont to do. She did, of course, use

a lot of a certain brand of butter!

While the pastries went for their second prove and on to the oven we got on with

the serious business of the evening, namely our Annual Meeting. This went

smoothly: financial statement was approved, committee elected and our

President, Wendy, re-elected. All accomplished we were able to have a cup of

tea/coffee and to sample the pastries – Delicious.

A full report of the fantastic Bollywood evening will follow in due course.

Next month is our Christmas party. Felicity Jelliff

HOW BIRD RINGING IS UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES OF OUR FEATHERED FRIENDS

Bird ringing involves placing a small colour coded ring on the leg of a captured

bird which is then released. Each time the bird is re-captured, or the ring read

through binoculars, it provides a wealth of data about what that bird has been

up to. The British ringing scheme started in 1909, when pioneers set out to

answer some of the basic biological questions of the day. Where do our

summer visitors spend the winter, and where do our winter visitors breed? At

the time, migration routes were only known from observations of birds on

spring and autumn migration, and the legend of Swallows spending the winter

in pond bottoms was not long dead. The first ring recovery of a Swallow in

South Africa only came in December 1912!

There are many species for which we still don’t have answers to these simple

biological questions. We know that some species migrate to ‘Africa’, but

specific wintering areas of declining species such as Pied Flycatcher remain a

mystery. In the UK, 645,000 Pied Flycatchers have been ringed since 1909, and

yet just five have subsequently been found in African wintering grounds and

we still know next to nothing about House Martins, with just two recoveries

south of the Sahara (in Senegal and Nigeria).

Migration patterns change as well and sometimes remarkably quickly. It was

well known that Blackcaps wintered around the Mediterranean, but the late

1970s saw an increasing winter population in Britain. It was assumed that

these were our own birds choosing to stay put and risk the winter weather,

but ringing showed that this was far from the truth, and that our wintering

birds were from the Continent, having migrated west instead of south due to

our milder winters and better food availability.

Ringing has also increased our knowledge of the record ages of birds. Few wild

birds reach anything like their maximum potential age as there are too many

factors working against them – predators, accidents, weather, disease,

starvation and plain bad luck. Despite this, some of these record ages in years

are impressive; Starling 22, Jackdaw 20, Robin 19 and House Martin 15 for

example. And what about the Manx Shearwater from west Wales which spent

51 winters off the coast of southern Argentina, covering 1.5 million kilometres

just getting there and back? Roland Hammond

NEWS FROM THE VILLAGE HALL

Village hall car park resurfacing

Over the past year the hall has been fortunate in receiving very generous

donations specifically towards the car park re-surfacing. We have also received

grants from Suffolk Coastal District Council, the Parish Council and our District

Councillor Mike Gower totalling £13,000. We can now go ahead with the car park

re-surfacing and this will begin immediately after the New Year until Friday 11th

January when the hall is not so busy. The car park will be closed during this time

but the Post Office will remain open for business as usual. Medical

prescriptions will be available to collect as usual. Access will be on foot, either

via the main entrance, or via the steps from the road and walkways and signs will

be in place. The letter box will be closed due to difficulty accessing the post box

and the nearest alternative boxes are near the Star or down Blyford Lane.

The bottle banks will be removed for this period, so please either drop off your

bottles before the New Year, or hang on to them until the bottle banks are

back. Please don’t leave them at the hall during this time. The nearest alternative

bottle banks in Halesworth are the Co-op or the main car park.

During this period we would be very grateful if cars could be parked considerately

so that our neighbours are not troubled. Our contractors will keep the disruption

to the minimum possible.

Hall Redecoration

We have also held several fundraising events this year and at the same time as

the car park work is being carried out, the main hall will be re-decorated. Evening

bookings will continue as usual and our decorator will do all he can to minimize

disruption.

Electronic piano

The Village Hall Committee has installed a Yamaha Clavinova electronic piano on

a long-term loan basis from one of the parishioners. It has a full-sized piano

keyboard and will also play as an organ as well as producing a number of other

instrumental sounds. If anyone would like to use the Clavinova for teaching

purposes or for entertainment please contact Jane Peters to book time slots.

WVHC

Treasurer

The village hall will be looking for a new Treasurer next year for the hall

accounts. The accounts are kept in an ACE personal finance software package

which is quick and easy to use. This was installed earlier this year and has proved

to be very efficient and provides all the information we need very easily. The

present Treasurer Margaret Hill has done an excellent job and we will be very sad

to lose her. However, her husband Mike is retiring next year and they will be

travelling more and she is unable to continue with the role. Please contact Sally

Amery on [email protected] if you are able to help.

Hall hire rates

We have had to make some unwelcome increases to the hall hire rates for 2019

but these had been unchanged for 10 years and the costs for running and

maintaining the hall have risen considerably during that time. We have tried to

keep these increases affordable and the hall hire rates are still favourable

compared to other nearby alternatives.

Thank you very much to all our hall hirers for hiring our hall during the year and

organizing and running the activities you hold there. All the events add up to

make Wenhaston a wonderful place to live, with so much going on all the time

and a great community feeling.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year from the Village

Hall Committee.

NEWS FROM THE CHURCH

The Two St. Peters Church Quiz (Thorington and Wenhaston) was again a great success

and the Village Hall was filled with a lot of buzz and much Brain searching!

We are very grateful to Denise and Phil Corbett for devising the Quiz and to Phil for

being Quiz Master. The event raised £265.00 for each Church.

In December we shall have our usual Stall at the Village Bazaar on SATURDAY 8th to

raise funds for the Church and I shall be very pleased to receive any unwanted Gifts

etc. which we might sell on the Stall. The Bazaar is always a popular event and we look

forward to seeing many of our Friends there.

The VILLAGE CAROL SERVICE will be on FRIDAY 21st.DECEMBER in the CHURCH at 7

O’CLOCK afterwards there will be the usual Mince Pies and Mulled Wine. Do come

and join us to listen to the familiar Readings of the Christmas Story and to join in with

your favourite Carols and perhaps sing some new ones!

Our Christmas Eucharist will be a Celebration of Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve at

11:30 pm, with the Service finishing on Christmas Day.

Tribute to John Stevenson. Sadly I have to finish my last report in the Warbler with a

Tribute to John Stevenson, our Organist who died recently. The news that John had

died so suddenly was an awful shock for us all at St. Peter’s as he had been our faithful

Organist for many many years. We shall all miss him so much. John was such a lovely

man, a true Gentleman and a friend to us all. I know that Bramfield’s loss is even

greater than ours but our Services at St. Peter’s will never be quite the same without

John’s smiling face at the Organ. We all send our Deepest Sympathy to Charles at this

very sad time for him and our Love and Prayers are with him.

Thank you John - May you Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.

Since writing this report we have had our amazing Day of Remembrance in Wenhaston

and I would like to say a very sincere Thank You to everyone who took part in any way

in these Celebrations. It was wonderful to have so many people at the Act of

Remembrance at the War Memorial and the Church so full for the Service. This was

then followed by the Celebrations in the Village Hall which were enjoyed so much by

many people. So much hard work and organisation had gone into this event in the

Village Hall lead by Sally and her large team of Helpers, our Thanks go to them all The

whole day was a marvellous Tribute to all those who had given their lives in both World

Wars.

The Collection at the Church Service was £577.23 and the Raffle in the Village hall

raised £338.70. The Church has sent £915, 93 to the British Legion
